SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS    Scholarships and awards are presented to deserving students based upon academic achievements, financial need, area of interest, or other college-approved criteria recommended by donors. Many scholarships and awards are endowed, thus providing a permanent base of support in perpetuity and providing lasting legacy to the donor.    Thanks to the loyalty and generosity of many Iowa State alumni and friends, the College of Veterinary Medicine has a long history of supporting future veterinarians. To help counter the rising educational debt facing new DVMs (now averaging over $134,000 per student), the continued support of donors has allowed for substantial growth in both the number and amount of scholarships awarded. Supporting students is a top priority of Iowa State and the college, and I’m very pleased that we continue to increase the funds available to reward our outstanding students.    For the 2014-2015 academic year, over $620,000 in scholarships and awards will be made to students. Approximately 50 percent of eligible veterinary medical professional students received an endowed or annual scholarship, with the average award in excess of $2,300.   The College of Veterinary Medicine Student Awards Committee selects Scholarship and Award recipients. The 2014 committee members are Drs. Yeager (Chairperson), Allbaugh, Bolser, Brown, Goff, Karriker, Noxon, and Schleining. The committee receives input from many other faculty and students during the process of selecting the recipients. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the Student Awards Committee and the donors of the scholarships listed on the following pages.
